2.12.2 Assigning a Static IP Address
Spectracom recommends assigning a static IP address to SecureSync, even if the unit is con
nected to a DHCP server.
This can be accomplished in several ways:
a.
Via the keypad and information display on the front panel of the unit, see "Setting Up
an IP Address via the Front Panel" on page47.
b.
By connecting the SecureSync to an existing DHCP network, temporarily using the
assigned DHCP address, see "Setting Up a Static IP Address via a DHCP Network" on
page49.
c.
By connecting a Personal Computer to SecureSync via a serial cable, see "Setting Up
an IP Address via the Serial Port" on page50.
d.
By connecting a Personal Computer directly to SecureSync via a dedicated Ethernet
cable, see "Setting up a Static IP Address via Ethernet Cable" on page51.
Note: For information on configuring routing tables, see "Static Routes" on
page58.
2.12.2.1 Assigning a New Static IP Address
To configure a SecureSync unit that has not yet been assigned a custom IP address (e.g.,
because your network does not support DHCP), there are two ways to enter the desired static IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address:
The front panel keypad and its 4-line information display, or
a personal computer, connected to the SecureSync unit via a serial cable, or via a ded
icated Ethernet cable.
The keypad is the simplest method to configure the network settings. See "Keypad and Inform
ation Display" on page4 for information on using the keypad.
Note: Units are shipped with the default IP address of 10.10.201.1 with subnet
mask 255.255.255.0.
Setting Up an IP Address via Serial Cable
The serial port can be used to make configuration changes (such as the network settings),
retrieve operational data (e.g., GNSS receiver information) and log files, or to perform oper
ations such as resetting the admin password.
For this task, you will need a serial cable, and a Personal Computer (PC) with a command-line
user interface program (CLI) installed on it, such as TeraTerm
®
, PuTTY
®
, or similar.
